Birational reparameterizations of surfaces

Given a unirational parameterization of a surface, we present a general algorithm to determine a birational parameterization without using parameterization algorithms. Additionally, if the surface is assumed to have a birational parameterization with empty base locus, and the input parameterization is transversal, the degree of the solution is determined in advance and the dimension of the space of solutions is reduced. As a consequence, for these cases, we present a second faster algorithm.
